I've tried really hard to like this year's Lego advent calendar. Really I have! Today we have the penultimate, 23rd surprise.

It is a dog.

With a bone.

That doesn't even attach to the dog.

That's right, on the next to last day of this calendar, which has been full of law enforcement, repeat surprises, multi-day sort-of-dull builds and a distinct lack of super awesome things, we get a non-building figure set. Ok, so the dog is sort of neat, and is roughly in scale with the mini-figures (if it's a Great Dane I guess) but I admit that I was hoping for something more...Lego like.

At least I am excited - waiting with baited breath - to see how much this day pisses off Newton Gimmick over at Infinite Hollywood - a fellow site that has been doing the countdown, with similarly frustrating results!
